Chapter 3 Troubleshooting

1.Power Input

Verify that is using the right power cord/adapter (+12~48 VDC), please don’t use the power adaptor with DC output voltage higher than 48V, or it will burn this converter down.

2.Cable

Select the proper UTP cable to construct user network. Please check that is using the right cable. Use Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) cable for RJ-45 connections: 100 Category 3, 4 or 5 cable for 10 Mbps connections or 100 Category 5 cable for 100 Mbps connections. Also, be sure that the length of any twisted-pair connection does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Otherwise, use the 50/125 ~ 62.5µm fiber cable to connect the fiber port in multi-mode.

3.Diagnosing LED Indicators

The switch can be easily monitored through panel indicators, which describes common problems user may encounter and where user can find possible solutions, to assist in identifying.

If the power indicator does not light up when the power cord is plugged in, user may have a problem with power cord. Then check for loose power connections, power losses or surges at power outlet. If user still cannot resolve the problem, contact the local dealer for assistance.

If the Industrial switch LED indicators are normal and the connected cables are correct but the packets still cannot transmit, please check your system’s Ethernet devices configuration or status.
